Much respect and gratitude for everything Chris Petersen has done for the University of Washington. He is a shining example of integrity in the rapidly declining culture that is college football today.
And, I am not just trying to spin this development. From where I sit right now I think Jimmy Lake is an upgrade and I can tell you unequivocally that a lot of people, including the players themselves, are psyched about this turn off events.
As I have posted many times lately, CP has lost his edge and many of his game-time decisions have been catastrophic. That is not to say that he hasn't done a great job bringing UW's football program back, he has.
Every single university in the country wanted Jimmy Lake, not necessarily as a HC but certainly as a DC. He is widely respected for his great football mind and player development. The big fear was that we were going to lose him this year and that may have played into this.
We have a young (42) coach that gives us great stability. He is a great recruiter, great player developer, and most importantly, a great strategist.
Really excited to see what he brings to the table.
